IHIT identifies woman killed in Maple Ridge shooting

Homicide investigators have publicly identified the 35-year-old woman killed in a shooting in Maple Ridge Friday morning.

Kashmir Ali was taken to a hospital after the shooting at a home near 226th Street and 119th Avenue around 8:40 a.m., but she died from her injuries.

The Lower Mainland Integrated Homicide Investigation Team shared her name and photo in a news release Saturday afternoon.

Ali was one of two officers found suffering from gunshot wounds when they arrived at the scene. The other person, a man who has not been publicly named, suffered non-life-threatening injuries, according to police.

IHIT said the shooting “does not appear to be random” and added that there is no “known risk to the public” as a result of the incident.

“We are working to identify witnesses who may shed light on what led to this tragedy,” said IHIT spokesman Sgt. Timothy Pierotti, in ed.

“We are appealing for all of Ms Ali’s associates to come forward and speak to police as we work to develop a timeline of events.”

Anyone who was traveling in the 22600 block of 119th Avenue between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. and has dash cam video or other information about the shooting should contact IHIT, police said.
